Once in Breckenridge, the list of summer activities is long and diverse, from a scenic and relaxing chairlift ride to heart-pounding adventures. So plan and book in advance the Breck activities you don’t want to miss out on. Expect to be spending as much time outside as possible enjoying the beauty of Breckenridge but keep in mind that every 3,000 feet of altitude gained UV levels increase by 12%, so wear sunscreen and drink lots of water to remain hydrated!

Epic Discovery in Breckenridge is located at Peak 8 Base Camp and set to open on June 14. You can soar down the mountain on the Gold Runner Coaster or the Alpine Slide, test your balance at the Alpineer Challenge course, climb, tube and fly! With multiple ticket packages available, you can choose to try a few activities or spend an entire day on the rides. The all-day adventure pass is available to purchase in advance online lowering the ticket price, and if you are a 2019-2020 Epic Passholder you can save an additional 10%.

Looking to take things in at a slower pace? Explore Breckenridge’s high alpine with a scenic chairlift ride and a hike while enjoying the mountain views and wildflowers. Or take a trip to Breckenridge Stables for a leisurely horseback ride between Peaks 9 and 10 on the Ten Mile range above Breckenridge. Breckenridge is always buzzing with art, music and events, and to increase your experience you can plan your vacation around town festivals. June brings the Gold Panning Championships, July offers the Summer Beer Festival or the Food and Wine Festival or come in August for the International Festival of Arts or Breckenridge Hogfest: Bacon and Bourbon. Every Sunday Main Street turns into a farmers market, where you can buy local produce, art and goods. The Breckenridge Arts District is a walkable hub of creativity, where you can engage in viewing as well as making art. Check out BreckCreate.org for workshops, exhibits, “Date Nights”, music, and of course, the infamous Breckenridge Troll, formally known as Isak Heartstone.
